Wrapping Shoe Boxes

Last night, we went to youth group at Songbird's church. We wrapped shoe boxes. Some people decorated their boxes with stickers. The little kids picked up the wrapped boxes and put them in a pile to be shipped. We wrapped the boxes for Operation Christmas Child. They ask people to fill shoe boxes with little gifts to give to children who might not otherwise receive a gift. Often the gifts inside are things like toothbrushes and combs. It was nice to be a part of something like that. I enjoyed doing the work of filling the boxes. It was fun hanging out with the teens in the youth group.

Happy Veterans Day

For Veterans Day, we made Mr. D cards and a centerpiece. It was cool. And now I want to say:

Happy Veterans Day!! Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our country!

art, art, and more art!

Today, we went to the art museum!  It was way cool.  I remebered the camera, and took tons of pictures.  Unfortunatley, not very many of me.  This one was my favorite girl.  The picture doesn't do her justice, in the painting, she looked almost real.  Every detail is very good, right down to the hands and toes, which I may tell you are very hard to get proportioned correctly.

Here are a couple others.  Have you ever looked at a painting and just thought WOW.  thats what I did with these.  They are absolutley beautiful!  These two are about cincinnatti and the river front.
Then, there was the castle and the water around it. Absolutley gorgeous!



These were by far,  I tkink my favorite.  Abstract Art.  Totally cool!

And that concludes our tour of the museum.  Actually, there is more, but that's all I will show you.

(OK, that took a while to publish. I wasn't done, but I will enjoy having the memory. I wouldn't be able to add to it now, so we will leave it at this! 10-4-14)

Happy Halloween

Last Night we went trick or treating with Songbird and friends. It was so fun. We walked around and had a bunch of laughs together. I was a Vampiress. Loved the costume. We sprayed Black into my Hair and I made the mask. Not a very mean vampire. Hmm, I should fix that.

FigNewTon was a rock star. Lovin it!!

The eyes are the best, you know, since I helped with them. :) lol

Ok, Here is my mean Vampiress.

OK , after getting three hours of sleep, saying goodbyes, and a change of planes, we have arrived at our destination. I am so not ready for this. Too late, we're here.

We are now getting settled and unpacking for a month at Mrs Autumns house.

The Orange Fish

Yesterday, our family went to the aquarium. We had lots of fun. When we got to the octopus tank, he was actually out! There were lots of exotic fish. At every tank, we tried to find all of the fish listed. It was cool. We saw lots of cool fish. There were some that were really wacky, and some that were really colorful. My favorite was this one:

It is called a Garibaldi fish. They live in north-eastern subtropical parts of the pacific ocean. It is the official marine state fish in California where it is protected in coastal waters. Yes, the fish is actually this bright!
